I ve been going to Bandys for years, I recently discovered the shop on Madison, I was going to the one in greenwood for years. they are very friendly and did great work on my car. They had it all of 24 hours, fixed it and I picked it up and I ve had no problems! I m so grateful for them and the work they do. They will continue to get my business.

I found them because of their proximity to a job, and they ended up being the perfect choice ! The staff was great, and communicated well. They diagnosed my issue and got me back on the road quickly. No complaints, thanks for saving the day!

Got an alignment, they "forgot" to print my before and after measurements. Also did not call me before and charged me for checking out the front suspension components when I DID NOT ask or approve the extra expense.

Several reasons. 1st off, it is a family owned business. As a small business owner I appreciate that.That being said JP and his associates did an outstanding job on the conversion of stock exhaust into a dual exhaust system, on my Ram 2500. They took their time made sure the tips and pipes were level and looking their finest.I appreciate the extra mile that they took taking care of all the welds that were done, grinding and painting. I cannot say enough about the professionalism, and attention to detail!Thanks , I will reccomend Bandy's

They were able to replace my upper control arms and help with tiers. JP and his mom were very professional. They are knowledgeable and honest, rare in the auto mechanic industry.

Had an issue with a front wheel hub and some dash lights, they did a repair to the rear hub assured me the front was fine, told me the lights were due to air bag sensor even though my manual states the lights are due to stability control system, spent almost four hundred dollars on a repair I'm not sure I even needed, I still have the issues I went in over and have some random cable hanging under my vehicle now. Never had an issue in the past but definitely not impressed at all with my last visit.Services: Steering & suspension repair, Auto engine diagnostic

I had an issue with a brand new tire and Bandy s took care of it for me and replaced it at no charge. They have competitive prices and timely service. I always call around for pricing and Bandy s is typically the most affordable.

I HIGHLY recommend Bandys and their employee JP.I installed a downpipe on my mk7 gti and it made my car just insanely loud, I could not live with it. But i wanted the benefits that came with an aftermarket downpipe. I called Bandys and talked to JP and he was extremely knowledgeable and helpful in finding the best solution for me and giving me advice on how to proceed with my car. I can't thank JP enough, my exhaust note is perfect now and I'm not embarrassed to drive my car.The repair took no time at all and they were prompt with calling and letting me know status updates.

90% of my accumulated car issues solved in what, two hours? Now it doesn't squeak nor rumble while driving, starts fine, brakes way better, and the engine service light is off.The place has an honest feel about it, somehow. The staff was friendly and informative as mentioned in other posts.I asked them to try and sort the itemized list by importance for the functionality of the vehicle due to availability of my free time. It now feels new and I only have the timing belt cover and fuel line left to fix.I only went there because the Google reviews were positive. I am happy with the pick, and would encourage others to give positive reviews if they are happy with the service as well.

This was my first time dropping my car off at Bandy s, and it will definitely be a return customer for any future problems that I am unable to address myself. I was very impressed by their communication; they called me multiple times to share their findings and to ask which services I would like them to subsequently perform on my vehicle. I was only surprised with how quickly they were able to complete the work!

I can't say enough about staff and mechanics there. The prices for my tires and shocks were lower than anybody else's and they made no other repairs without calling me. I had to have a tire sensor replaced while waiting for the alignment rack to open then when about to leave a dash sensor came that hasn't before. I didn't get to leave until it was resolved, thank you ladies and gentlemen for a great experience.

We are So thankful for the service we received here! Our sons car wouldn t start. He lives in Indy & we live in Ohio. We decided where to take his car based on reviews. They diagnosed and fixed an electrical problem in a timely manner and did not charge us a fortune! We could not be happier. Super thankful we found a car repair shop we can trust.Services: Electrical repair, Battery

I took my truck to them after having gone to car X and paying them to fix what I thought was the only problem. Bandy's diagnosed and fixed everything. I highly recommend this Bandy's located at 3501 Madison Avenue. Thank you guys for the great work and impeccable customer service!

Owner is very rude, mechanics are her puppets. They are liars.. And will absolutely rip you off, destroy other parts of your vehicle and say it s this and not that or both.This never would ve happened 8+ years ago.Both Locations needs an internal investigation.License suspended until completed. I m sure BBB has been notified countless times. Very disappointing.Will never recommend them to anyone.Services: Exhaust, A/C installation & repair, Air conditioning

I went there to have work done but the work they did was beyond acceptable more like deplorable. They did some welding for me on muffler lopes and welded the clamps then they said we need to redo all of it after they checked it out 1st. Now it leaks badly. Then they replace the neutral safety switch and now overdrive is 3rd gear and the transmission slips. Then they were suppose to check the timing and they said I need a new pcm box and now my timing is off. Then they charged me 420 for incomplete work. AVOID BANDY'S AT ALL COST. I WILL BE GOING AFTER THEM FOR THERE TERRIBLE WORKMANSHIP

Well went to get a muffler put on. And while the car was in the shop my tire was knicked by something sharp. When asking the technician if he did was told no. I watched what happened just wanted to see if I would be told the truth. Then was told I had to have my spare put on. Not a very good first experience. On a positive note the technician did pay for the tire that was damaged. Not a bad place, but if something happens just be honest and correct the problem.

Wouldn't go back here if it was the only available mechanic shop within 50 miles!! I read the reviews prior to taking my car here. I'm not seeing how people said friendly staff. Both the lady at the front desk and the technician were INSANELY rude. I know a very good amount of things when it comes to cars. When asking the technician questions, he stumbled to point out the issues as if he was making them up. When paying, I noticed that the description section mentioned 'missing parts' that I was told about. I was not. I told them I'll pay for the work, but that I didn't feel comfortable signing that form. She then refused to release my car. The dealership that has my car now, mentioned that there are multiple signs of recent mechanical abuse, including the motor. The parts I puchased for them fix the original issue weren't on the car, rather the same older parts. I have multiple family and friends that have gone to this shop. (Over 10). Between my experience, and 2 of theirs in the same week, they just lost a LOT of buisness. Just sorry I went there in the beginning.

My family has been going to bandys for several years. It was a great place to take your car to and not get ripped off. I took it in about a week or so ago and paid quite a bit of money for them to replace my mass air flow sensor. I get my car back and not even a week later my engine light kicks back on. I take it in again and it turns out the new part was bad and they "usually" test that but just didnt happen to for this case. I had my receipt yet the front desk lady was incredibly rude when bandys messed up here not me. Now my car isn't starting when the battery is perfectly fine and there is teeth marks where my starter is like a tool was taken to it .... don't take your car here.

This was my first visit but very happy with the results. Very honest people could have done my front end alignment even though they ran into a problem but didn't. I like the honesty
